Inspiration Slump

I am having a inspiration slump , the bloggers eqivelent of the writers block. Maybe it is the sad lull that comes after your house has settled and the boxes unpacked.
I thought i would be madly decorating, and yet i am struggling to even think about where to hang the paintings and pictures. I thought i would be madly buying new peices of funriiture, alas , i am reading catolouges and not evn paying that much attention.
Untill io get my mojo back i am on a design hiatus.....adios for now !

All Moved In

And unpacked and so the decorating begins !

Finally Moving !

We are moving this week, don't know how much i will be able to post in the next week or so !

Will hopefully see you all at the other end !

To Bland..... Not to sure ?

I am always on the look out for inspiration for our home makeover, But i always keep in mind that we don't have a huge beautiful bedroom to work with. Our new bedroom is very simple with no stunning architectural features, and is quite small.

I found the above image on RATE MY SPACE and i love it.

Is it to bland ? does it need a splash of colour ?

Farmer Found A Wife

Each season i laugh , cringe and cry, as i watch the channel nine show "Farmer Wants a Wife". I was very lucky to meet my 'farmer' at the Roma Picnic Races.
He was a cute country boy who worked on a irrigation and cattle property, I was a fun loving city girl, who's parents bought a property as a mid-life crisis.
I think we were such opposite ends of the spectrum that no-one thought we would ever work .

I found my farmer, and i suppose that my farmer found a 'wife', Over half a dozen or so years later, my husband is now a miner, and i am so thankful that i found my 'farmer'

Garage Sale Find

I always whinge about not being able to pick up anything good at garage sales. In seems that i frequent sales that have horrible old foul rubbish for sale.

But a couple of years ago, while pregnant with Master M, i found a beaten up, scratched old rocking chair, all the timber was scratched and all the material had rotted away. I picked it up for $15 , squished it in the back of my car , and had grand plans to do it all up.
4 or so years later when we left the property , it was still in the shed. So, my Mother in Law has restored it for me.
I am very impressed with her work , and only wish i had taken a picture before it was done up.



No idea where it will fit into our new home, but i am sure we will find somewhere.

M's Room - Befores....

So i have blogged about our new house in a few other posts, it has previously had a minor reno but needs some work , and the first room to get the TLC is Master M's room. (excuse the dodgy picture)


It screams ugly, horrible and outdated. We instantly thought a total wardrobe re-vamp, a modern colour pattern and some plantation shutters. We thought of a built in desk with a wall mounted LCD computer screen that doubles as a TV.

A little bit of inspiration -

However, the more we (ie me) have thought about it, the more i am not to sure. This room is right next door to the Master bedroom and one day in the future could become a nursery.

So, what to do.....If it becomes a nursery , it would need to be uni-sex, have a built in change table and lots of storage. There isn't to many babies that need a desk with a wall mounted TV.

Great Big Stuff

I have been searching the net for a giant set of cultary as blogged about here .

I was laying in bed last night reading 'O' The Oprah Magazine and i stumbled upon a picture of a giant tape measure. The credits at the back lead me to GREAT BIG STUFF .

And i love over sized things, a few of my favorites below.

Oversized book stool -


A great addition to a kids room or playroom -




Giant Crayons for the playroom -


And for my husbands bar - (at over 60cm's , it is quite large)



And while they do ship to australia, i would need a giant credit card to pay the shipping fees.
